Abstract EN
Currently, almost unrestricted access to low-lying areas of airspace creates an opportunity to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), especially those capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), in transport services.
UAVs become increasingly popular for transporting postal items over small, medium, and large distances.
It is forecasted that, in the near future, VTOL UAVs with a high take-off weight will also deliver goods to very distant and hard-to-reach locations.
Therefore, UAV navigation plays a very important role in the process of carrying out transport services.
At present, during the flight phase, drones make use of the integrated global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and the inertial navigation system (INS).
However, the inaccuracy of GNSS + INS makes it unsuitable for landing and take-off, necessitating the guidance of a human UAV operator during those phases.
Available navigation systems do not provide sufficiently high positioning accuracy for an UAV.
For this reason, full automation of the landing approach is not possible.
This paper puts forward a proposal to solve this problem.
The authors show the structure of an autonomous system and a Doppler-based navigation procedure that allows for automatic landing approaches.
An accuracy evaluation of the developed solution for VTOL is made on the basis of simulation studies.
